He is a hard marker, but fair. Good teacher though, nice guy.

I liked the powerpoint - very clear lectures - tough exams - great project - use

Fair, nice guy. Talks too quiety, sit in the front of the class.

Very clear, nice guy, uses Powerpoint, and is always willing to help.

I liked him but he was kinda boring and made silly jokes.

he is proud of himslef !!! hard tests, useless notes

Very good teacher. Very interesting. Goes beyond the book which is cool. Uses powerpoint, and is easy to understand. Stresses what is important for tests and gives bonus marks on tests. Worth while to take him. I've had him twice and totally recommend him

he is very monotone and talks about sex too much but there is just something about him!!!

The tests are not that hard, if everyone would just do their reading they'd be ok...and what's wrong with sex? how better to capture the attention of 20 year olds? anyways, there certainly is something about him...

cool class, i got to work at the mental hospital, took 12 pages of notes every day in a 3 hour class, tough and tricky tests, expect to do your work, not for the average bear

He helped me understand stats math. His classes are fun and his dry sense of humour is quite funny. Always tried to be at class. Really enjoyed learning from him.

He's a great teacher. I felt he deserved one score for hotness.

aslong as u study and book and review ur notes ull do fine. some say hes boring, but his lectures are way more interesting then the book. so just go to class and honestly know the book like the back of ur hand and u can ACE it

very monotonus voice. clear lesson plans. good power point presentations. fair exams.

good teacher overall, dull personality but tries his best. powerpoint is great if u can speed write! marks fair,only 1 paper.if u want to slack, take nite class-less labs.recommended.

Very good teacher. Taught me to write a proper Psychology manuscript that really helped me in a Langara Psych course, I was first, and I am thankful! Knows his voice is monotone, says so and tries his best to "keep you awake". Great stories! R

powerpoint and book are important for exam! research papaer will be easier than you expected important to follow form* and content.if you read a book and study notes in depth...you should be do fine..^^ i agree that a bit bored class~

He is really dry but he can bring in some really good material. Lots of notes. He uses powerpoint which makes things easy to read. If you are in his class speak up and have some fun with it. He allows it and it makes class a lot more fun.

I recommend Dr. Welch for anyone who is really interested in psychology, and doesn't take the class simply out of curiosity.

This guy is hot for a nerd.

Excellent teacher, very good powerpoint notes. You will get an A if you read the chapter, read his notes, and DOOOO the study guide, verrrry simple if you follow these steps. For and A on the paper just follow the APA Style and your good to go, he's very smart and knows what he's talking about! YAAA

Geek is chic!! A surprisingly funny guy. Yeah he's monotone, but if you listen you'll get to hear his dry wit/jokes. Very organized with his powerpoint presentations. Do what the person below said. Use the study guide and know all the terms-it's very straightforward in his classes.

I don't know what people's problem with Welch is. 1) He's funny. 2) He's interesting. 3) He makes learning the material easy (PowerPoint!) 4) He is NOT a hard marker. Don't believe me? Take an English course! Welch is the best prof at the college IMHO.

The Abnormal Psyc course I took with Dr. Welch was the most interesting one I took at Douglas in over a year.He's a very smart guy and people complaining he's boring probably don't have a real interest in Psyc. But if you do, I totally recommend his classes. Hard, but fair marker, and very helpful.

He knows his stuff. He's actually quite funny at times.

He is a good teacher, yes he can be a little monotone. His powerpoint is aways clear and easy to understand, but a little boring. He doesn't let you jot things down for long, so write quick.He jokes a lot,probably the same ones every term. Tests were fairly easy,paper was good(use APA and you'll be fine).Gets a kick on creating powerpoint pop-ups

He's the cutest little thing.He does get pretty excited about the power-point sounds. But his lectures are clear and interesting, his tests aren't easy but if you pay attention and read you'll do fine. Take his course you will get alot out of it!

I actually did poorly in this class because I took too many classes, but I still enjoyed his class. I think he was very helpful,understanding,and he did try to entertain the students. It was hilarious how he got excited over his little powerpoint sounds. Very nice instructor! A lot of notes though : (

I thought he was a great teacher, if you went to class and read the text, you'd do fine. He's a bit monotone, but always went over the main points that would be on his tests.

He is a nice teacher but his tests are hard. He is helpful and funny. I'd recommend him for this class.

Very organized and professional. he is also funny and interesting

great prof, if you read the text and pay attention during lectures, you will do good on the exams. very funny and interesting teacher i highly recommend to anyone interested in psych.

it is crucial to attend all classes! honestly if u go to class listen and take notes you'll do fine.

Steven is a good guy. Lectures can be a bit boring until he gets to the case studies. Pay attention to what he focuses on in class for written exams. Very fair. He dresses very well, probably the best at school, and he always has neatly combed hair. What would Freud say?

Basically, you just have to memorize the text for this one. His stories are interesting, but he put me to sleep a couple of times.

He's a pretty good teacher, but does have a tendency to talk down to students. Make sure you attend class!

cool guy for a geek.likes to stare at students. powerpoints are clear, and he tries to make them funny.would recommend him if you like rote memorization.

Dr. Welch doesn't talk down to students at all. He has an interesting sense of humour (albeit quite dry) which some might misinterpret as condescending. He has great notes so make sure you attend lecture! I enjoyed his lectures and I would definitely take him again.

Great teacher. His classes were very informative. I took him a while back. I don't understand why students always complain about boring instructors. They are there to lecture and not take you to the playground.

very clear lectures. attendance is not necessary to do well in the multiple choice portion of tests, but is a must for the written part of the exams (usually out of 10). on a side note, you'll find he is not afraid of long, awkward silences when waiting for someone to answer his questions. very amusing!

Although his monotone voice may put you to sleep, he does teach clearly. I consider him to be a good teacher. Class isn't necessary as long as you can get notes from someone. I do recommend reading the text book. On the written tests write as much as you can because he does give bonus marks. p.s. be sure to ooh and aww at his power points.

oh, dr. suave. he's a good prof and so long as you read the chapters you'll do fine for the tests. very clear. but he is sort of a stereotype as he likes to hold his glasses in his teeth and wave them around as he stands with one leg up on a chair (a la capt. morgan) wearing his silk shirts and slicked back hair. what a character!!! :)

Although people think he's a little boring, I think he's great. He has good clear notes, his tests are reasonable if you study and I think he's cute!

He is great! Shares lots of interesting case studies through videos and his own stories. Tests are very straightforward. Work through the questions in the study guide and review them and you will do well. Guess what, this is college, you actually have to make an effort if you want a high grade. I don't know why some people are so surprised by that.

He is great! Would take more classes with him in the future! (and I am VERY critical of my profs)

a nice guy, reli not bad

Funny guy. Miss his classes.

steve is a great prof; tough + a little odd, but teaches the material very clearly. good sense of humour! he's approachable + always answered any extra questions i had. took psyc 1200 + 2341 with him. In 2341 there's not much room for thinking critically + questioning the material tho. the group papers suck unless you get lucky with coworkers.

Amazing teacher!!! The material is really interesting. Steven does talk quietly but I always sit in the front so it wasn't a problem. The paper is an easy A and if you study you'll get a good grade. This is NOT a class for slackers. This is the best class I've taken at Douglas.

I have taken 2 courses with Dr. Welch, intro 2 and abnormal psych, and I agree with other people that he is pretty boring, BUT Dr. Welch knows what he is teaching. He used to work at River View so he has real field experience and shares some stories. You will learn something from his classes regardless of whether you like him.

Great prof! Would recommend!

Tests are difficult. However, if you study hard, you will do great!

Quite speaker. Monotonous. Assigned a group paper. Read the book & the notes and you will do well in tests. Skip a class and miss the fill in notes. You need the notes for the tests. It is a long class each week, but he doesn't teach stuff you do not need to know.

His classes were very interactive and enjoyable. Each lecture had fill-in-the-blank notes provided online which made lectures more enjoyable and forced you to pay attention, which I enjoyed. Tests were lecture and textbook based but very clear on the content. I believed I actually learned in the class and thoroughly enjoyed going to class.

You will need your textbook, and you will need to read it cover to cover. Steven provides clear learning objectives for each exam that make studying easier. Reading the textbook and notes are not optional if you want to pass, over a quarter of the class failed the first exam. There's also a group paper, but he looks more at formatting than content.

Steven is straightfoward, there's no gimmicks or weird things to learn. He teaches in a way that allows someone to get a good mark through pure studying. The majority of his tests are MC, and he only asks for around 30 minutes of homework a week. Solid prof, I strongly recommend.

He's not a teacher you can expect jokes from, but what he does is teaches you what you need to know, provides the required material to study, and tests you. It's straightforward. If you're the type of person who learns best with that type of teaching method, this class is a great fit! Study the material, attend class, and you'll do well!

I don't agree with everything he says, but he's a good professor and helps you learn the material. Bland, but not so much that you fall asleep, so I didn't mind. If you try hard, you get a good mark on his assignments, but he's a pretty tough marker when it comes to APA style. He wants you to use the text, but I didn't use it at all and got a B

Class was engaging and informative. Dr. Welch is knowledgable in his field. I personally didn't purchase the textbook but if you're a text book learner and an A+ go getter, you might want to purchase it. Multiple choice for all exams except for the final (3 long answer questions) which he chooses from a list given out at the start of class.

Dr Welch's lessons are straighforward. Student/teacher contract is fair; course outline is easy to follow; marking is also fair and transparent. learning objectives are OBVIOUS, so you can actually learn the material as well as elaborate on it. One group paper, usually. Rational marking scheme : each assignment/test is worth a fair value.

Steven is a great prof! He explains the material very well and is very articulate. He super organized, so you'll know exactly what to expect. There is a group project, make sure you're in a good group! Put the work in and you'll get a good mark.

Best prof i've had. Super clear on how you're graded and fully transparent. Super supportive and genuinely wants you to understand and learn the material. He's very knowledgeable and makes lectures interesting and humorous at times. Would take a class with him again without a doubt

Knowledgeable and presents material in a clear, digestible way. Tries to make the class funny with some jokes, asks some short discussion questions or has little activities, which is nice. Straight-forward and chill class, I don't think it's boring, but maybe I just like psychology. Notes are easy with PowerPoint slides. Read the text book too tho
